Republicans don't want democracy, they want whatever puts their beliefs first and cheating is not out of the question.

::::MITCH MCCONNELL:::
Starring in the new hit musical:
::::WEEKEND AT MITCH'S:::::
Now in residency at the Yeehaw Theater in beautiful BRANSON, MO.
The only thing that's surprising is that they didn't immediately on the stroke of midnight submit a press release of his passing, given the suggestion that he needed to make it to August 3rd in order to avoid any chance of the governor appointing his replacement. I wouldn't have bet my own life on it, but I was halfway expecting to wake up this morning to the news of his passing.
Maybe they're waiting a few days to name it less obvious
They're all about the technicalities:
"We didn't declare him dead immediately after the deadline...
...we waited a few days! STILL COUNTS! PSYCHE!"
Dont worry, the DNC is ON IT. Schumer hasnt written a strongly worded memo on it yet, but I think he's considering it. I know that other than Beshear muttering some weak objections and not following through, the DNC has done and said nothing at all about it, but uh.. yeah vote blue no matter who.
Schmuck is busy with his side hustle with Israel, as well as insider trading, he doesn't have time for this shit.
Wait is he officially dead?
shriedinger's mcconnell. You're not allowed to see into the box to see if he's dead or not.
Schroedinger's Scumbag
I prefer the Pavlovian McKiddieFiddler.
Whenever I think of the orange child rapist being dead I salivate.
I'm waiting on rigor mortis: habeus corpus.
This is only an argument if one values democracy, which the voters of Trump clearly does not
true, but lets get real, the dnc doesnt care what you think either, unless you are by chance mega rich?
Democracy is having more then two options to choose from. If the two party system is so great and everyone is fully reoresented, the blue and red conservatives shouldn't mind replacing First-past-the-post voting with something that let's people transfer their vote if their first pick doesn't win.
But I guess wanting to able to vote how I want is a purity test... and we dont do that here right?

He died how he lived. Subverting democracy.
Of course they'll get away with it, with complicit controlled opposition
Does anyone remember when Biden stepped down and Republicans were real mad that the democrats were "hiding" his decline?
WHERE’S GEORGE CLOONEY TO SAVE US?!
His staffers have committed fraud & have also apparently committed forgery.
They need to be indicted in 2029.
That's adorable.
Democrats coukd win every seat in every election and they won't do jack shit against any of these criminals.
"TiMe tO mOvE oN aNd rEuNiTe tHe CoUnTrY" or some bull shit.
The Democrats have no appetite to indict the GOP
It's tough to try to indict the GOP when the majority of american voters decided they don't care and voted the ringleader back into the White House...
Its gotta be easy to run against the worst people possible. The ads write themselves. If you want to win of course.
Maybe thats why democrats didnt want to prosecute Trump. Gotta get one more election in with the big bad guy. Plus you can genocide whoever you want and break union strikes. What are they gonna do, let trump win? I wonder who will be the bad cop after Trump croaks.
The Social Democrats do. It's part of their plank.
Okay so saying it won't happen is helping because... If we're already giving up now, at least we won't be disappointed then...? Doomerism is not helpful.
It points to the fact that if you want things to change, the Dems are not going to help you. I'm sorry if the truth causes you to doom-out and not be able to fight. You should work on that. Pretending in a lie so your feelings don't hurt, so you can fight for an "option" that will not save you, is far more harmful.

Mitch got smarter when his brain died. I hope he is getting bed sores.
Is he dead yet?
Not officially
Term limits wouldn't have prevented this scenario, but they would mitigate the damage any one politician can do. Term limits would greatly reduce the opportunity for a corrupt politician to become entrenched.
We need term limits for Congress.

"Death of ~~Stalin~~ McConnell" supercut, wen?
Great reference, hands down my favorite movie, The Death of Stalin.
I've never seen it end to end, just caught clips on YT. It's got a stacked cast, and seemed soaked in deep, dark humor.
Actually he can continue his weekend at Bernie’s gig as long as they want, right now the senate looses his vote. He will 1000% be replaced another shitty republican, so this is the best solution for now.
How many autopenned docs have been signed in his name while he's been in the morgue? No one seems to know.
It's not in any way guaranteed that KY will elect another Republican. It's a state-wide seat in a state that elected a Democratic Governor.
But for the moment, yes, Mitch being so obviously dead does hurt Republicans more.
The reason that are not admitting he's dead is because they don't think they could win a special election. That's the full reason.
They probably can't win in the general election in the current climate either, but that's a problem for November that Trump is working on. He's trying to steal the election, and that's what Republicans are pinning their hopes on.
This makes 100% sense.
